(this song is about my fear of getting into a car accident and all the people who i love, but i have some standing grudge with or who i might have unfortunately burned bridges with, not bothering to show up at the hospital. and also vice versa, my fear that my grudges run so deep that it would make me hesitate to break some stupid self-imposed solitude even in the event of a friend's loved one or family member's death or some equally traumatic emergency. i often ponder that in the event of my death or near death, who would show up, after all the shit i've done and said. i often resign myself to the idea that it would be myself alone with some get well balloons offered up by the pity of the hospital staff) well, i've been in the hospital for weeks and you still haven't come to visit me i just guess you're still hung up on some grudge though you technically didn't you might as well have pulled the plug on me well, i've been home for half a week i bit off more than i can chew and broke my teeth i guess i'm beholden to some grudge though you technically didn't say it i know that you're in love with me and i'm not the same i rewired my brain i'll stay in my own lane i'll stay in my own lane and what's a couple of weeks i don't want to look weak i'll stay in my own lane i'll stay in my own lane and pretend it's okay and pretend it's okay we'll never be the same

i fell asleep with the t.v. on there's nothing between the things i want except the obstacles inside my head that heavy weight won't let me out of bed i thought of moving out find another job save up a little money get my shit together i could never get my shit together ten out of ten friends say that you can do better than me and i kind of agree you can do better than me 10/10 doctors agree and i kind of agree when i look in the mirror, i think even i can do better than me and i moved away and you kept the dog a one way ticket to Texas where i lost my belief that there was any good left in me and i'm bouncing state to state with the devil and god they're barking up a storm i just turned them off i don't need your love i don't need anybody and i moved away and you kept the dog yeah, i moved away and you kept my dog i don't need your love i don't need anybody and i'm bouncing state to state with the devil and god they're barking up a storm i just turned them off i don't need your love i don't need anybody i thought of moving out find another job save up a little money get my shit together i could never get my shit together 10/10 friends say that i can do better than you

Second Prize 03:00
(this song is about going through the 5 stages of grief, after divorce. struggling with the idea of someone being happier or more well off than you. finding anger in those thoughts, no matter how unfair that is. bargaining with the idea of reconciliation though you know it's a fucking cop out to go back and would be a lie. and accepting that you cannot live such a complacent life and return just because life is hard and even harder alone. i have always perceived divorce as experiencing death and still having to go on living like a ghost; some sort of widow of yourself. you live in a body that feels dead. it all feels so close and so far. like you're living out someone else's life in the aftermath, but you're so outdated and obsolete. as though i am an old man surrounded by flying cars. i just can't relate to the world post-divorce the way i once did. but you adapt. time goes by and the feeling of coping suddenly and unexpectedly shifts, beneath you, into hope. and you can breathe again. and maybe, one breath at a time, one step at a time, you can slowly learn to love again. and you realize you weren't really a little old man, but rather a newborn and all that pain was just your baby teeth coming in. just because you are someone's second prize doesn't mean you aren't someone else's first. go for gold. Love, Jack ) you moved on i moved out how'd you cope with me not being around and we changed each other's names on our phones i was blue and you were grey and i can't go on without you i just drag my feet i don't want to you were slow slow to love me i was always felt always felt like second prize and the future it looks gigantic from where i'm standing you know i was always scared of heights and i can't go on without you i just drag my feet i don't want to
